Catholic school fires gay first-grade teacher after she marries her partnerand parents are livid

A day after she returned from wedding her spouse, a Miami Catholic school abruptly burnt a well-liked first-grade teacher–and she believes she was terminated because she’s gay.

Jocelyn Morffi wedded Natasha Hass earlier this month, and according to the Miami Herald , she returned to her occupation last Wednesday. That day, she was told by the Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic School principal that she had to quit. Morffi refused to do so, and she was fired the next day. On Thursday, mothers received a letter about Morffi’s firing, and on Friday, about 20 parents demanded to know why.

In an Instagram post, Morffi said, “In their eyes I’m not the right various kinds of Catholic for my selection in partner.”

One parent of a student taught by Morffi told the newspaper that parents were livid. They apparently didn’t know Morffi was gay, but Cintia Cini said they didn’t care when they found out. She only cared that Morffi was “by far one of the best teaches out there.” She said the principal did not give the mothers a reason Morffi was dismissed.

The school did not remark to the Herald , and an Archdiocese of Miami spokesperson saying : that Morffi had transgressed her contract. According to the Archbishop, teaches at the school are seen as representatives of participating the church and are supposed to uphold the Catholic teachings.

“We were completely outraged, all of the parents, ” Samantha Mills, whose child is a former Morffi student, told the Herald . “This teacher in particular has attained such a contribution to the school. She never enforces her personal ideas on others. She simply does everything in love. She has a way of teaching that is so amazing.”
